Re: Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Vol. 3)
 

Yeah. My kid got that copy in his Nerd Block yesterday. It said on the card that it was an exclusive Fan Expo/Nerd Block variant.

And to make some of you cringe, my kid has already taken it out of the plastic bag, read it, bent it, and enjoyed it. ;)

I remember the Man Of Steel series being the first I ever remember of an alternative cover. I loved that series so I was a dummy and bought both though I had no idea what a "direct" version was back then.

The dumbest mistake I made with alternative covers was when they started the new series Legends Of The Dark Knight and did about 4 or 5 different colors of the ugly cover. I was a dumbass and bought several copies of each color. Then it seemed this started happening with every fucking issue of every other comic book being published at the time. I soon quit comic collecting completely right after that. I have never regretted the decision to quit.
